“The attitude of a learning leader determines the success of learning in schools, because they will present a pleasant work and learning environment atmosphere for students and teachers,” said Ahsanuddin.

Meanwhile, the Head of MTs Jabal Nur, Andry Eko Prasetyo said that the majority of madrasah heads in Malang City are still compiling school programs and filling out Madrasah Self-Evaluation (EDM) only as a formality following the existing system. The holding of this training activity is actually very much needed, especially in assisting the heads of madrasas in compiling school programs until the document is said to be feasible, especially in supporting the achievement of the vision and mission and the preparation of the quality of superior graduates.
“We hope that the training activities organized by the Lecturer Team of the Department of Education Administration FIP UM are not only carried out periodically, but must go directly to accompany madrasah schools under the auspices of Ma’arif Malang City,” said Andry.
